    While I was at school, I 1 train with Spurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also 2 for English schoolboys, so I suppose I was 3 a school boy star.  

       I didn't really get into 4 at school. I had my two elder brothers there for   5 of the time that I was there, so my stay at the school   wasn't that hard.6 other children had a really hard time.  

      I left 7 the end of the Fourth Year, and that caused a bit of trouble. I was allowed 8 math and technical drawing early. I passed them 9 , but unfortunately I failed in woodwork. If I'd stayed on 10 12 subjects like the other children.     

    It was a big decision to leave early so as 11 take all my exams.It could have meant that I'd wasted 12 years. But how many could get the 13 that I had? I'm told that only one in 1000 makes it in 14 , so you have only a very slim chance. But I decided to go for it and looking back it was the    15 thing to do.  

      I didn't support Spurs 16 a boy. I supported QPR, my local team. But to play for Spurs, 17 had just won the FA Cup, was interesting to me. There were so many 18 , and of course Bill Nicholson was the 19 then—a great manager.     

    I didn't have any girlfriends at 20 , I was 21 deeply involved (陷   于) in football that I didn't have time. 22 I don't have direct contactwith my old school friends, I own a sports 23 in the area, so they   often drop into the shop and talk about the old days.   24 is really nice. I'm always pleased to see them. I would advise anyone   25 to be a footballer to stay on at school to do their exams. If a club wants you badly enough they'll come in for you later.

  I contributed one of, what I believed to be, my best stories titled Symbol of Success to my school paper.One month later, I sat in the classroom   1   waiting for the school paper to be passed around, knowing that   2   I received it, I would know how good a writer I really was.

  Before, Professor Cullen had read my story and confirmed that she would include a(n)   3   of my story in the school paper.Professor Cullen was known for he   4   and strictness.Though   5   her was very hard, I still wanted to do so.

  When the paper arrived at my classroom, I   6   knocked down five of my classmates to get the first paper.Then I returned to my seat,   7   for what was about to tell the truth behind my   8  .I read through many stories’ reviews, and there wasn't a story getting more than three stars.When I   9   saw the title of my story on the last page, I   10  .I believed there was no way that my story would be any better than the other stories in the paper.

  I quickly turned my   13   back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review.The   14   of the five stars kept my eyes wide open.I was   15  .“Could it be true? ” I thought to myself.When I saw Professor Cullen's review that I was blessed with a capacity for story writing, I felt   16  

  For so long I believed that I wasn't as   17   as I thought, and my talents were a mere fa?ade(假象)I made to cover up my lack of   18  .However, this review   19   that I was truly good at writing and that there was a future ahead for me in the field of writing.The five stars became the   20   of my success.
